Hey gents anyone using Reloader 25 in the 7 rem mag?

i got this for 162gr ELDX to get a bit more velocity over the "h4831sc" / AR2213sc.............

remington 700 with 26 inch tube

should be a go-er yeah?

OR should i go with the AR2217 ? which is a tad faster than RE25.... but not as fast as 2213sc... i think its more like h1000..

to the untrained eye............... it looks good RE25? an they are all similiar ?? lol
 
Can anyone pass on some DATA at all, i cant find even a MIN load lol?

but ive see 68 and 70gr loads thrown out......

start at 65?
 
Start at 65 and you will be fine....max will probably end up between 68-70 grains.....Now, If you can get ReLoader 26 you will get more speed and probably even better accuracy.....

so far say 65-66gr rl25... im not anywhere better off than 63gr 2213sc........ am i ?

so i do wanna be goin in the higher charge an hoping for less pressure ?

as i felt goin further with 2213sc was goin to be slamming brass for no real gain? but perhaps thats whats going to happen to achieve the big 3??
 
i found this piece online from 2017
Using a 26" 1:9 barrel, and various brass with CCI #34 primers, I'm getting 162-gr Hornady SST's b/n 2900-3000fps MV with 70.5 grains of H1000, and about 3100 fps with 71 grains.

Using IMR4831 and same bullet, got MV of about 3100fps with 67 grains, but there were signs of overpressure, so wont' be going that hot again. At 63.5 grains was averaging 2900fps, and with 65gr about 3000fps.

C.O.L. for all loads was at the recommended 3.290".

YMMV"

I ended up settling for 70gr of RL25 pushing a 162 gr Hornady. Velocity was 3040 from 26" barrel. Development took me up to 71gr but was starting to see pressure so I backed off. Same load gets me to 2850 out of my 7RM with 22" barrel
 
just to put this one to bed. i filled the case with 71 grains an now pressure signs, starting to mark ejector on occaisons but tighest grouping was with 69.5gr , an thtas where im stickin for now, should be close to 3000 fps :)

cheers
